Training and Seminars Offered for Faculty, Students, and Parents

SCHOOL DRUG-USER RECOGNITION, DOCUMENTATION and TESTING
This new, one-day program, is ideal for school staff and school resource officers. It is a "team-teaching" program featuring expert school attorneys Mike Dishman and Dan Murphy teamed with drug specialists Bruce Talbot and Tony Lebron. This new training program gives school staff the recognition tools to document the drug-impaired student or school employee. Establishing reasonable grounds for a suspicion based drug/alcohol test is an important component to random drug testing programs. Drugs students and employees are most likely to abuse, including paraphernalia, concealment techniques, and testing issues are included. Our experienced school lawyers cover the laws, regulations, and court case decisions involving school employee and student drug use, both random and for-cause testing. Video clips of actual drug abusers under the influence provides a real-life learning basis to recognize and document drug impairment. Our expert team provides school staff with the confidence to conduct a fitness-for-duty action for a suspected drug-impaired employee, and how to legally deal with an impaired student. This seminar has earned outstanding reviews from teachers and school administrators. The program can be custom designed for individual school district needs.
